Still want to be picked for the team to represent the school at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office European Youth Parliament Debating Forum?

Prepare a two minute speech on one of the following issues mentioned at the EU Commission during our discussions on 29th November. You will need to research it carefully and talk about it in front of a panel (probably myself, Josh and Aaron but also possibly another teacher). We will hear you make your speech in January as we do not need to pick the team until we have the debating motions. If you are not picked, then at least you will have researched a topic that interests you and you can say that you participated in the European Society/visited the EU Commission on your UCAS form. We will work around January modules and probably pick the team at the end of January or as soon as we have the debating motions and date for the Forum, whichever is the sooner.

You can choose one of the following to talk about;

-How democratic is the EU?
-How will enlargement of the EU affect Britain?
-Do you think the EU should have an army and the power to levy taxes?
-What impact is the EU having as a political force on the rest of the world?

Please ask me for guidance if you are unclear.

Make sure you read below for feedback on our visit to the Commission. Well done to all of you! You were impressive.
